iszlámban

Iszlám is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion that began in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula with the Prophet Muhammad, whom Muslims regard as the final prophet and messenger of God (Allah). The central creed is tawhid, the belief in the oneness of God. The primary scriptures are the Quran, believed to be the literal word of God, and the Hadith, reports of Muhammad’s sayings and actions.

Core beliefs also include belief in angels, the Day of Judgment, and divine decree. Islam emphasizes moral guidance and a legal-ethical framework called Sharia, derived from the Quran and Hadith, with variations in interpretation across communities.

Practices include the Five Pillars: shahada (the testimony of faith), salat (ritual prayers performed five times daily), zakat (almsgiving), sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca at least once if able). Muslims observe additional rituals and festivals, such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Dietary laws prescribe halal, and modest dress and behavior are emphasized in many communities.

Islamic civilization produced diverse interpretations and schools of law, notably Sunni and Shia branches, with historical madhhabs and Sufi movements. Geographically, Islam is practiced worldwide, with large communities in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and diaspora populations in Europe and the Americas. Demographics and practices vary by country, culture, and tradition.
